Tell your wife you enjoy these things and they make you happy. When you find something that makes you happy you should not listen to anyone who tries to stop you from having a good time and enjoying yourself even though it is your wife. It's hard enough to find enjoyment in life sometimes and when you do you need to hold on to it.

You would think she would want you to be happy and support anything you do that makes you enjoy life more, and not dump all over it. I'm not saying she's a bad person but make her understand that these are the things you enjoy and you would not stop her from doing or buying anything that would make her happy. I would not let anyone stop me from enjoying myself or feel guilty about it.

It's a month before Christmas and she is probably a little miffed about you spending money on yourself.  Take the gift cards buy the tuner AND SOMETHING NICE FOR HER, put it under the tree and wait for Christmas to start playing with it.  I've been married 18 years and this usually works great for me.  My wife never knows what SHE got me for Christmas until I open it 8)

Take a look at http://mentifex.virtualentity.com/robowife.html. Trading your wife in might solve your issues  ;D

But seriously, I have the same problem with my better half. I don't even have any cabs at home because they're virtually impossible to buy here and there's no way I could make one at home. I do love hi-end audio and that's where my troubles start. I've found out though that she really likes mobile phones so I "let" her buy a new one once every two months and immediately upgrade my stuff after that. She can't complain  >:D She also liked the Wii a lot so I bought it "for her".

When was the last time you played with HER, instead of your tech stuff :D




I have several strategies. The one I like the most is, do not tell anything, put the machine in place and say nothing. She'l look at you in disbelieve when she discovers it and say "you didn' buy another.....blablabla" Then you walk up to her cloths/shoes/boots/purses or whatever she buys in quantities that you really only need one or a couple of and say something like "you didn' buy another dress/pants/shoes/purse etc.

That solves things most of the times here :P

But I think I'l try that nudie bar the next time  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
